Abby's an internet sensation

This is part of Microsoft's KinectShare.com advertisement stuff.
Look where the red circle is.
Recognize anyone?
I know it's a crummy image, but ctrl+printscrn can only do so much.
Do you see her yet?

You should see ABBY playing Kinect Sports in our ghetto living room! She's a sensation! Just kidding. But Jesse is there, and if you look closely, you can see Claire peeking out from behind Abby. I'm the only one missing. Every time Abby sees it she says, "that's me!"

How funny is that? I'm not 100% sure how they got the pictures... something about Jesse working for Microsoft and uploading to a work account.. so don't worry. Your Kinect images are safe. We actually don't own a kinect yet--we were borrowing a friend's--but we love it. We're hoping to buy one soon.

If you feel like checking out the real thing, you can look at kinectshare.com.

In other news, once again, the sun has stopped shining in WA and I'm counting down the days until I fly to Utah. SARAH will be there and SETH will be home!! Best Utah trip ever. I haven't seen Sarah since December and Seth since August 2009. WAY TOO LONG to see some of my favorite people ever.
We're going to play outside, eat Cafe Rio, Mandarin, FROZEN YOGURT, and just have a blast.
And Jesse will actually join me this time.

Huzzah!

If you give a mom a cookie...

I just saw this on a friend's facebook status. I cracked up. It's extreme, but it's also so true. So I thought I'd share. Here's to moms and future moms. We ROCK.

If you give a mom a cookie...

by Marianne Hales Harding on Wednesday, July 27, 2011 at 12:46pm

If you give a mom a cookie…

She’ll have to give it to her toddler…

And when the toddler has the cookie, the mom will need to vacuum…

Once she has the vacuum out, she’ll have to do the stairs too…

And when she finishes the stairs, she’ll realize she ought to sweep…

When the floors are swept, it only makes sense to mop…

After she’s finished the floors, she’ll move on to the counters…

And if you’re going to clean the counters, you’d better clean the sink…

The dishes in the sink will remind her that she never cleared the breakfast table…

And while she’s clearing the breakfast table she’ll notice a few stubborn stains on the dining room chairs…

Since she’s gone to the trouble to get out the upholstery cleaner, she’ll scrub the couches too…

She won’t be able to stand having clean couches under dirty windows so she’ll wash them inside and out…

Which naturally leads to scrubbing each and every venetian blind…

Before long she’ll find herself sand-blasting the cement patio…

And repainting all of the exterior trim on the house…

In the meantime, the toddler will have found the rest of the cookies…

And when the toddler has the cookies…

The mom will be vacuuming yet again!
